Myrtle

this is Onlee, whom everyone calls by her middle name - Myrtle...what a great lady! i was amazed to hear she was almost 100 - the way she was motoring down the hallway of her nursing home, grabbing a total of 20 plastic eggs during the home's Easter egg hunt today...she was so hysterical - everytime she found another egg, she'd keep saying "Oh, beautiful, beautiful eggs, thank you, honey, thank you...the Easter bunny is so good to me!" having collected the third highest amount of eggs, she won a basket filled with candy and Easter goodies....waving to the room, she shouted again, "oh, thank you, thank you EVERYbody!" this was one of the most fun assignments ive been out on in a while! i may have to go back and visit with this woman some day...
